LATE WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 167411. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Standard grade carbine with 20″ bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight and 1873-marked carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight stock and steel carbine buttplate with trap containing an orig three piece brass & steel cleaning rod. Left side of lower tang, under the wood is marked with the assembly number “849”, which number is also found in top tang channel of buttstock. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this carbine as having been received in the warehouse Jan. 8, 1889 and shipped Sept. 7, 1889 to Order number 1669. This carbine is somewhat a rarity in that by the time it was shipped in 1889 in rimfire caliber there was a great variety of center fire arms available on the market. It is believed that the vast majority of these late rimfire caliber rifles & carbines were sold to Mexico, Central & South America where the cartridge was still popular. In addition, most of these late production 66’s were either produced as, or converted to, center fire. Those ’66 rifles and carbines shipped south of the border that have been repatriated are usually in deplorable, relic condition so to find one of these late 66’s with high original finish is quite a rarity. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine, all matching except buttplate which is original to this carbine; Bbl and magazine tube retain traces of orig blue in sheltered areas being in overall smooth, plummy brown patina; Receiver & side plates have a few small dings & light scratches and overall retain a wonderful medium mustard patina; Lever & hammer retain traces of silvered case colors; Buttplate is a dark patina. Wood is sound with light nicks and scratches and a couple of small bruises and retains a worn patina. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with moderate fine pitting. 4-50620 JR16 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 1011
